Your middle school has 900 students. 1/3 of students bring their lunch instead of buying lunch at school. What is the value of t
1 answer:
Hey there!
This may seem pretty scary because, duh, fractions, big numbers, MATH.
However, you've just got to break it down.
So first, we find out how many students BRING lunch.
To find 1/3 of 900, you just multiply 900 by 1/3.
BUT WE CAN SIMPLIFY: to 300/1 times 1/1, which is 300/1.
So 300 people BRING lunch.
Now, to find people who BUY lunch, you just subtract the number of people who bring lunch by the total number of people.
900
-300
600
So 600 people BUY lunch.
All that's left to do is turn all these numbers into a ratio.
Easy peasy: put 300 and 600 like a fraction, like so:
Hope this helped! ;)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello there!
We can solve for x using law of sines
As we can see in the image a side length divided by sin ( its opposite angle) = a different side length divided by sin ( its opposite angle)
So we can use this equation to solve for x
Our objective is to isolate the variable using inverse operations so to get rid of sin (65) we multiply each side by sin (65)
we're left with
assuming we have to round the answer would be 33.18 or 33.2
